Non-Surgical Sinus Surgery

Endoscopic sinus surgery is a non-surgical way to treat chronic sinusitis. If you have chronic sinus pressure and symptoms, it may be the result of your nasal anatomy. Endoscopic surgery uses a balloon to inflate and gently reshape the sinus anatomy. This allows people to enjoy the benefits of sinus surgery without having to undergo surgery itself. The benefits include a faster recovery time, less follow-up work required, and minimal post-operative pain.

Surgical Sinus Surgery

Endoscopic sinus surgery is a great alternative to traditional surgical sinus surgery. Unlike the surgical approach, endoscopic sinus surgery requires only local anesthesia. Traditional surgery requires general anesthesia to cut and remove bones from the sinuses. The traditional method also has about double the recovery time of the endoscopic alternative. It also requires more follow-up appointments and pain medication following the appointment.

During/After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Endoscopic sinus surgery is a fairly short surgery, usually taking under an hour to do the full surgery. You may feel a little sore after the surgery, but most patients can return home the same day. We will be sure you have all products, like a nasal spray if necessary, to heal successfully and comfortably at home.
